Residents hold a remembrance ceremony during the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor at a Museum of the ‘Stryiska Death Camp Prison’ in Drohobych, Ukraine on November 26, 2022. Many Ukrainians feel the past repeats itself amid the current Russian invasion. 1200 people were tortured and killed at this prison, dying at the hands of Russian NKVD-KGB functionaries. This region was not affected by the man-made famine of Holodomor that killed millions of Ukrainians from 1932 to 1933. Some historians conclude that the famine was made by Joseph Stalin repressions to eliminate a Ukrainian independence movement. Ukraine and a number of other countries view it as a genocide carried out by the Soviet regime.

Her grandmother said that he went for a walk one day and no one saw him again. In the 90s, an exhumation was made here. ‘No one could ever think that all these horrors would repeat again,’ she says about the current Russian invasion.
